"Man met een afgehakt hoofd in een menigte," or "Man with a severed head in a crowd," is a drawing by Dutch artist Alexander Ver Huell, created between 1854 and 1887. The drawing depicts a chaotic scene with a crowd of figures in the background, a man holding a severed head aloft, and another man wielding a weapon. The scene, executed in pen and ink and watercolor, is a powerful depiction of violence and chaos. This drawing is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The work is notable for its gritty realism, capturing the harsh realities of social unrest and the consequences of violence.
